This is the actual book given to me from 1969 - treasured as fond memory of both the school and of Spike.
The school song went like this:

Colere atque amare
Hunc labos noster
Studiumque nostrum
Semper honestent "

It included the sheaf of arrows which was the main motif in the seals of the
Burgery of Sheffield and the Twelve Capital Burgesses; the three
wheatsheaves on a green field were probably chosen at the College of Arms to
represent the name Sheffield which means "the open space by the River Sheaf"

You will be asking yourself - "How come he has this book? Did he steal it?" Well, the story is that he lost it and was made to buy a replacement. Years later, it turned up at his Dad's. It smells old and fusty now he says, but he treasures it.
